Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and potential 2012 Republican presidential candidate, told thousands of supporters Saturday enough is enough. It's time to stick up for the "little guy."

Foreclosures are high, stimulus packages are doing nothing to help the nation bounce back and the budget deficit keeps climbing, Palin said. Americans are out of work, and those with jobs are in fear of losing them, she said.

"Little guys across America ... and momma Grizzlies are growling," said Palin, a leader of the Tea Party political movement, wearing the signature red power suit and rimless glasses. "We're going to protect our cubs."

"There comes a moment in time, a moment we feel today ... when we have to say enough is enough. And Bakersfield, enough is enough. You can take it back."

In a nearly nonstop cheerleading speech where she continued rousing the crowd amid cheers, Palin slammed President Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and others for "Obama Care" and demanded "restoration." She called for firings starting Nov. 2, Election Day.

"Are we better off now than we were when Barack Obama took office?" she asked the crowd, which responded with a loud, 'No!.....

......She talked about the "little man" who only wants a good job in his home town, but instead sees a country spending without asking, a bleak economic future, and borders that need protection.

Regarding local issues, Palin said California is rich with farm land, but a tiny fish is considered more important than thousands of Californians being fed, referring to the splittail fish at the center of Central Valley water controversy.

"I'm Alaskan, and I like my wildlife," she said. "But people are losing their farms, crops and livelihoods."

She asked why the "cocktail party" considers the Tea Party movement extreme.

Thousands of people cheering Sarah deep in the heart of left-wing California.

All this talk about Sarah being polarizing or not being able to attract independents are straight out lies. I don't believe it for a second, and I don't believe the manufactured polls that continuously say she's would get wiped out if she is the nominee.

Barring a natural catastrophe to her state, or a tragedy within her immediate family, Governor Palin is running for President.

first I heard of it if so I stand corrected. Most often I hear Rush use it in the form “the people in DC want to attend the cocktail parties”.......either way first national politican that I have heard use it...
